Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said,
Job progovori i reče:
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! how hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
“Kako dobro znadeš pomoći nemoćnom i mišicu iznemoglu poduprijeti!
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Kako dobar savjet daješ neukome; baš si preveliku mudrost pokazao.
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came forth from thee?
Kome li si ove uputio riječi i koji duh je iz tebe govorio?”
5 They that are deceased tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
Pred Bogom mrtvi pod zemljom dolje strepe, vode morske dršću i nemani njine.
Pred njegovim okom otkriven zja Šeol i bezdan smrti nema vela na sebi. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
On povrh praznine Sjever razapinje, on drži zemlju o ništa obješenu.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
On zatvara vodu u svoje oblake, a oblaci se pod njome ne prodiru.
9 He closeth in the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
On zastire puno lice mjesečevo razastirući svoj oblak preko njega.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
On je na vodi označio kružnicu gdje prestaje svjetlost i tmine počinju.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Svodu se nebeskom potresu stupovi i premru od straha kada on zaprijeti.
12 He stirreth up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
Svojom je snagom on ukrotio more i neman Rahaba smrvio mudrošću.
13 By his spirit the heavens are garnished; his hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
Nebesa je svojim razbistrio dahom, a ruka mu je brzu zmiju probola.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: and how small a whisper do we hear of him! but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Sve to samo djelić je djela njegovih, od kojih tek slabu jeku mi čujemo. Ali tko će shvatit' grom njegove moći?”
